No. Earth-like lifeforms could not exist in the environments found there.

However, because there is water ice in craters near the poles, it is possible that a human base or colony might eventually be located there.

Yes it is but you would need approximately 278% of oxygen in your tank to live but please don't try this on the actual Mercury because this may cause bad irritation and colds due to the oxygen pressure on mercury and your body

I would think not. Mercury is most likely not habitable but there is no straight, exact evidence to prove it otherwise. Mercury is much to hot for life or any organism to live on this planet and because of the failure to provide an atmosphere, Mercury gets hit with asteroids and other space particals almost every day. This would provide a dangerous living environment for people and for living organisms.

I hope my answer helped!!

No it can not have life on it because since is so close to the sun, it makes it the hottest planet.
